As Christians we are to take the Word of God seriously. How do we really treat His Word? If scripture says something do we explain it away? Are we too sophisticated to accept it as truth?
If we believe scripture is God’s Word and is there for the improvement of our lives, we are ahead of many others. But to get maximum benefit from God there must be more. We must know His Word and know it is for us. Then we must be doers of the Word. It is not enough to know the words of God. We must incorporate the truth of those words into the way we live our lives.
It does us little good if we know of God’s love but do not walk in it. It does us little good to know of God’s covenants and their provisions if we’ve only heard but have not made those things part of our lives, our daily expectations.
Did not God let us know that the doer of the Word would eat the fat of the land? If we are to believe, act on, and live God’s Word; that is a pretty key piece of information.
So what will we do as the Spirit opens our eyes to God’s Word? Deny it? Set it on a theological shelf? Embrace it and act upon it? How we respond to God’s Word will determine our quality of life as Christians.
